ITALY PERSISTING IN ATTEMPT TO MEDIATE IN JUGOSLAVIA-NAZI CASE BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, April 2 Italy, persisting in an attempt to prevent war between Jugoslavia and Germany at any cost, has now suggested that Foreign Minister Momcilo Nincitch and Second Vice Premier Slobodan Jovanvic, a famous jurist and treaw ty expert, go to Rome for negotiations, diplomats reported today.

Despite denials at Rome that Italy had offered to mediate, it was insisted here that Italy had made such an offer but for reasons of prestige had sought to make it appear that Jugoslavia had taken the initiative. The first Italian proposal, diplomatic quarters said, was that Gen. Dusan T. Simovitch, the Premier, and Foreign Minister Nincitch go to Rome. This, it was reported, the Jugoslavs refused to even consider and Italy made the alternative proposal.

Italy, it was reported, sought to have the government send a letter to Benito Mussolini asking him to mediate. NEW ENGLISH BOMB IS CALLED MOST EFFECTIVE LONDON, April 2. C.E) A new type of British bomb, used for the first time in an airplane raid on Emden, Germany, yesterday, has five times the blasting effect of any bomb previously dropped by the Royal Air Force, the ministry for aircraft production said today. "The bombs are filled with some extremely effective explosive capable of destroying buildings over a wide area," the ministry said. "The concussion would be felt many miles away." "The ministry for aircraft pro duction has for some time been conducting research work which led to the production of these bombs.

"Its constant endeavor1 will be to make them still larger, better and more catastrophic in their effects. "In view of the devastating nature of the bombs, which are of very large size, It was difficult to find a sufficiently large uninhabited area in this country for testing their blasting power." Hearing Today (Continued from Page One) they were unwilling to assume any damage claims. Examiner Kerrigan -was told there have been eight accidents at the present crossing sinoo four of them fatal. Five of the eight accidents occurred after the installation of flasher signal lights in 1926. A traffic count showed that an average of 13 freight trains and six passenger trains used the double tracks daily and an average of 1,675 vehicles used the highway daily.

Washington county, through Counsel David H. Weiner, informed the commission that the county was unwilling to assume any property damage because the highway department plans are actually a highway improvement project and go "far beyond, actual grade crossing elimination." The townships took a similar action with Attorney Adolph L. Zeman, representing North Stra-bane, informing the commission that his client has no fund to meet damage claims. Robert Murphj Robert Murphy, first counsellor of the American embassy at Vichy, France, is pictured as he returned to the United States after ft tour of French North Africa, Anglo-Anierican (Continued from Page One) are likely to embrace a wide range ot practical matters of Anglo-American cooperation in event of sudden Axis-inspired moves in the Pacific region. to Hong Kong Brooke-Popham was said to be eh route to Hoirg Kong and to have spent some time in the Netherlands East Indies and his tour had the appearance of a calculated move to integrate defense efforts by the British, Dutch and Americans In the region.

Hong Kong, next point on Brooke-Popham's itinerary; generally is regarded as the northernmost point of British resistance event of Japanese attack. Hong Kong, it is believed, would attempt to hold out as long as possible to delay a Japanese southward thrust but it is not believed that any points north of Singapore could be effectively defended 'against determined Japanese attack. The Anglo-American discussions in the Far East were launched despite some indications that Matsuoka's visit to the Axis capitals may. not be as productive of "surprises" as "had been hoped originally by Adolf Hitler. ew Crop of Peace Feelers Matsuoka was in Rome today and held a long conference with Pope" Pius which brought a crop of rumors about peace feelers, possibly launched jointly by the Vatican and the Japanese.

"Peace feelers," it seemed certain, were not what was calculated on by Axis propagandists when the Matsuoka trip was originally scheduled. The advance propaganda from Rome and Berlin layed down a clear line that this trip was to be the Axis answer to. increasing United States aid to Britain and constantly dangled the boogey of Japanese "surprises" unless Washington desisted from its policy of giving more and more help to London. Jlatsnoka Party Spoiled That line was almost submerged in the wave ot Axis misfortunes which broke simultaneously with Matsuoka's arrival in Berlin the coup In Jugoslavia, the destruction of Italian warships by the British, and the western hemisphere move to seize Axis shipping in North and South American ports. Virginio Gayda, often a spokesman for Benito Mussolini, reverted to the original Axis propaganda briefly today.

He asserted that "new accords" had been reached in Matsuoka's discussions with Hitler and Mussolini which made certain that a united front of Germany, Italy and Japan would oppose any new participants In the war. Warning to T. S. Gayda did not mention the United States by name but it was plain that It was to America that the warning was directed. Other Italian sources said that Matsuoka and Mussolini had dia-' cussed Axis cooperation on eco- nomic as well as military and naval lines in event the United States and Jugoslavia" enter the war.

Germany Talks "Crisis' There was no tangible change in the Jugoslav situation. Berlin reported a steady aggravation of the "crisis" and the press proclaimed spreading "atrocities" against Ger mans. The machinery which pre ceded the marches Into Poland and Czechoslovakia was functioning with well-oiled precision. Only the names and places differed in the news dispatches from those which preceded other moves by the Nazi military machine. Italy Wants to Mediate From Belgrade there were re ports that Italy would like to mediate between Jugoslavia and Ger many because of the danger to her troops in Albania if Jugoslavia en ters the war.

But Rome and Berlin denied this report. 1 Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Chief of the Imperial Staff, Gen. Sir John G. Dill, still were in Athens despite Berlin assertions yesterday that they had gone to Belgrade.
